"Next steps?" Dais said trying to move their investigation along.
"Well, this is definitely not the place to talk to the general public to see what sort of information we can get. Even if it were, though, I am not too sure that we would get too much information. I get a feeling that not only has there been a military coup, but it has produced a closed military state."
"Perhaps another approach then. We could go to the non-venasian parts of the city, and check out the locals. Find out what their feelings are of the Venasians. They may have noticed something of value, and they would definately be more forth coming." Sam suggested.
Just then, another Venasian patrol appeared, this time with a very authoritative military officer in the lead. She appeared to be the typical Venasian - dark haired, pale white skin, blue eyes with gold flecks - except that she was tall for a Venasian woman (who were usually small and petite.) TALL. And broad-shouldered, like some aquatic Amazonian warrior. Something didn't seem quite normal about her physical appearance, but she might have been considered beautiful - had she not appeared about as approachable as an arctic wolf. The badge on her uniform indicated she was a Mora'sai (commander) in the Venasian fleet.
"I am Commander R'saran," she told them. The universal translator remained off; she was speaking in Standard. "I understand you are having some difficulty returning to your hotel. Allow me to escort you safely back."
